Thomas and Matthias astro chats: emergencies | Episode 2
Join ESA astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Matthias Maurer at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, USA. In part two of this video series, the astronauts discuss how they prepare to respond to emergency situations on board the International Space Station.
Though mission details and dates are yet to be confirmed, Thomas and Matthias are the next two European astronauts in line for flights. Thomas has flown to the International Space Station before, while Matthias will fly for the first time.
Prior to a mission, astronauts train extensively to ensure they are familiar with the vast array of systems and operations on board. In this video, the pair focus on emergency training and consider how things might change when astronauts travel farther from Earth to the Moon and Mars.
This video was filmed in June 2020. At that time, the platform Thomas and Matthias were standing on – in front of a full-scale mock-up of the International Space Station – was the only place at NASA’s JSC that they could interact without face masks. Despite this, the pair were required to maintain social distance at all times as a precaution.

Great work:to stay safe !
Thanks for sharing.👨🚀 🙂
Estar preparado para pensar Pode -se aplicar a lei de Murphy até no espaço …a lei da gravidade.. ."manter a cabeça e o pensamento enquanto tudo à volta estáo perdendo e a desmoronar…provavelmente não estará a entender a gravidade da situação…O treino é uma lei da administração do tempo …todo o trenó leva mais do que todo o tempo disponível!! Mas sabemos que as probabilidades tem a lei da experiência com profundidade!! Boa sorte nas missões….
Awesome video ESA! What does the future look like for ESA astronauts? A seat on Artemis? 🤞
Im a 13 years old and Im planning on becoming an astronomer or an astronaut. I learnt english at the age of 9 just because I understood that you cant go in the space only with italian. Im also studying russian as I know its a very important langauge in the ESA. You make me feel proud every day of my choices!
Vraiment intéressant ! 😁
Are there any thoughts for a mini, unmanned, space station that'll orbit the sun in between Mars and earth's rotational planes? Or are we waiting to find dinosaurs first? 🙂
Love it to listen to the two very sympathetic Astronauts how they do explain everything to understand it very well. Their topics to chat about the ISS are very interesting , Thanks a lot to ESA space agency taking such great videos. Every time by listen about the ISS, do feel myself being in the ISS too there. Keep up the good work there Astro Thomas and Astro Matthias, thumbs up !
Matthias seems to be a nice, fun guy. Hope everything will be best for him.
Thomas, I love your English speaking! It improves mine…
